Abstract

Many colorful personal reminiscences of the exhibit and personalities involved in the 1884 International Electrical Exhibition and related ``Conference of Electricians'' are given here by Professor Jackson. With this background as an indication of the state of electrical engineering education in 1884, the author outlines its rapid development, emphasizes the strength imparted to it through its early and continued close association with the fundamental sciences, and, looking to the future, sounds something of a challenge to the modern era and modern attitude.
